Shop Local

The Woodilee Residents Association are delighted to be able to offer a facility for businesses owned and operated by individuals who live in Woodilee Village to advertise their products and services to other residents. Every month we will promote to our followers on Facebook a page on our web site at woodilee.org.uk containing details of all businesses who have registered for this scheme.

There is no charge to businesses for this service, but if you’d like to offer a discount to residents of Woodilee Village then this would help encourage the Shop Local ethos.

If you’d like to advertise on our web site and have your business promoted monthly please send an email to contact@woodilee.org.uk with the following details :

  • Name AND address of the business owner (will not be published or shared)
  • Name of your business
  • Two of the following 3 items :
    • A flyer (JPEG, PNG, GIF) with details of your business
    • Logo of your business
    • Some descriptive text that you want associated with your mini page

Adverts will be published on our Shop Local page : woodilee.org.uk/shop-local

Please note that it is not possible to provide regular updates to your mini page on the web site.

Faster Broadband has arrived

Faster Broadband

In July 2020 Openreach installed a number of fibre cables across Woodilee Village heralding the start of the Fibre To The Premises (FTTP) roll out. This offers speeds of up to 900Mbps and is currently understood to be available to the majority of the village. This means the majority of residents now have a number of options available to them including :

  • Fibre To The Cabinet (FTTC) offering speeds of up to 70Mbps
  • Fibre To The Cabinet (FTTP) offering speeds up to 900Mbps

Unfortunately there are reports that it’s not currently available to the blocks of flats across the village and we don’t know if this will be resolved any time soon.

There are reports that Virgin Media will also be rolling out fibre across the village. Further details will be added in due course.

You should use the OpenReach Fibre Checker to verify what options are available to your home.

Faster Broadband

Faster Broadband

Want faster internet? Read on! Action required below.

The Greater Glasgow area is included in Openreach’s plans to roll out fast broadband known as Fibre To The Premises (FTTP). It does this by connecting your home to the exchange using fast fibre optic cabling eliminating any old copper wire technology (which was never designed for internet connections).


In order to help Openreach understand the level of demand from Woodilee for such a service it would be useful if all residents interested in such a service could register on the web site below following these steps simple steps:


1. Click on the link
2. Enter your postcode
3. Select your address
4. Scroll down to “Register your interest”
5. Enter your details and click Submit


It will take about 60 seconds to do (depending on your current internet speed of course).

Community Safety Advice

Police Scotland

Police Scotland have issued the following safety advice. Please take the time to have a read of it and take any necessary steps to help secure your home.

“Being vigilant and protecting your own property will make you far less likely to become the victim of acquisitive crimes such as theft or housebreaking. If you see anything suspicious please consider calling Police Scotland on our non emergency telephone number 101 to report the matter. You will never waste our time. We rely on the public to provide this kind of information in order that we can target our patrols. You can also provide information anonymously if you prefer by calling CRIMESTOPPERS on 0800555111 or online at www.crimestoppers-uk.org

You may find the following crime prevention advice useful.

  • KEEP CAR AND HOUSE KEYS well away from your doors. Thieves use fishing rods and poles with magnets to reach through letterboxes and through open windows in order to steal car keys. Consider hiding them at night.
  • LOCK ALL DOORS and close windows at night and when you are not at home. Thieves travel to housing estates and walk around at night trying door handles until they find unlocked doors. They rarely force entry to houses.
  • If you have an alarm system make sure it’s set when you leave the house. If you don’t have an alarm system consider fitting a “dummy alarm box” in a place visible from the roadway. Thieves are often deterred merely by the sight of an alarm box and will move onto the next house.
  • Keep valuables such as handbags, purses, wallets, laptops etc out of sight. Consider taking them into your bedroom with you at night. Do not leave valuables in your car, especially around Christmas time.
  • If you share a communal stairwell, ensure the door entry system is well maintained.
  • Make your house looks occupied when you are out – use timer switches on lights even when you are at work. Consider fitting external security lights.
  • Consider hiding irreplaceable items which have sentimental value where thieves would be unlikely to look… just in case.
